Cleo saw the vet on Friday. She weighed in at a hair under 60 pounds - a good elkhound size - and still has a way to go, we think. She will be 31 weeks old on Sunday. Using the same math as back in October, she is still on track to be exactly 100 pounds.

It's not that Cleo is getting much taller, but she is filling out to match her long legs and long body. She is starting to get the Rottweiler build - broader chest and strong hindquarters - and it is all muscle right now.
